Baroness Ashton of Upholland: The National Archives (TNA) has collected further detail from those public bodies that reported losses in the Iron Mountain warehouse fire. Because of the varied nature of the information provided, it is not practicable to make an overall estimate of the financial cost to government. However, the information collected on costs, insurance, recovery planning and reporting to Ministers has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

Lord Rooker: The meeting to which the Lord Bach referred was a round-table meeting of mainly UK (not European) stakeholders, which took place in London on 13 March 2006. The aim was to look at issues surrounding the ban on imports of wild birds from a conservation perspective. Specifically, the meeting considered the impact of wildlife trade bans on illegal trade and local livelihoods. It concluded that there was a general lack of evidence in both these areas. Consequently, Defra is in the process of commissioning research to look specifically at these issues.
	An informal note of the meeting was prepared and I have asked officials to place a copy in the Library of the House.
